由恒基兆业地产开发的 36 层高的 Henderson 大厦位于香港中央商务区的中心地带，原址为一处多层停车场，毗邻 Chater 花园，从这里步行不久就能到达中环和金钟地铁站。在本项目中，设计者将建筑的基座抬升到地平线以上，在这个世界上最繁忙的城市之一的市中心打造了种满树木和植物的花园，使这个全新的城市广场被自然气息所包围。

Located in the heart of Hong Kong’s central business district, the 36-storey ‘The Henderson’ tower for Henderson Land replaces a multi-storey car park to create an urban oasis adjacent to Chater Garden within a short walking distance to both Central and Admiralty MTR metro stations. With its base elevated above the ground to shelter courtyards and gardens cultivated with trees and plants in the centre of one of the world’s busiest cities, the design creates new civic plazas that are enveloped by nature. © Stoyan Bozov – composer The design is inspired by the organic forms in nature, and the building is connected to the adjacent public gardens and gardens; the peaceful outdoor space is also connected to the spacious indoor public space; the craftsmanship and precision of the curved glass curtain wall further enhance the dialogue between the interior of the building and the surrounding environment. The designer used the image of the soon-to-bloom Bauhinia flower in the design to define the structural form and layering of the building. The Bauhinia flower, also known as the Hong Kong orchid tree, is planted in the urban botanical garden above美利道, and this flower pattern is also on the flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The Henderson building is located in the core of Hong Kong’s financial district, at the east-west/north-south intersection of Hong Kong’s elevated pedestrian network, and is connected to the surrounding gardens, shops, restaurants, and the office areas of major financial and private institutions.

Echoing the organic forms of the natural world, the redevelopment connects with the adjacent public gardens and parks. These tranquil outdoor areas flow into the generous communal spaces of the interior, with the craftsmanship and precision of the curved glass façade enhancing this seamless connectivity between the building’s interiors and the surrounding gardens and city beyond. The design reinterprets the structural forms and layering of a Bauhinia bud about to blossom. Known as the Hong Kong orchid tree, the Bauhinia x blakeana was first propagated in the city’s botanic gardens above the Murray Road site, and its flowering bud features on Hong Kong’s flag. At the core of the city’s financial district, the project is situated at the east-west / north-south junction of Hong Kong’s network of elevated pedestrian walkways, connecting directly with surrounding gardens, shops and restaurants as well as the offices of leading financial and civic institutions.

大厦采用了高强度钢结构，形成了较大的跨度（宽达 26 米），内部采用自然采光，没有柱结构，其中甲级办公室有 5 米层高，为客户提供最大的灵活性。建筑的垂直向核心设置在东侧，这样能够避开 Chater 花园，并保证西侧的城市天际线景观。本项目是与恒基兆业地产和奥雅纳建筑可持续发展团队合作，并取得了 LEED 白金和 WELL 白金预认证，还获得了中国绿色建筑评级中的三星最高级别。设计方案、采购环节和施工是在业主入住后获得的全面认证。大厦中安装了智能管理系统，为所有住户从街道到工作站打造了一条非接触式通道，包括人工智能辅助的电梯控制系统，避免了人们与公共表面的直接接触。住户可以使用手机、非接触式智能卡或生物识别技术通过安检并进入大楼、呼叫电梯到达指定楼层、进入休息区和洗手间等其它区域。
